"But before that, I want to observe Nora's reaction."
This is Lu Ge's safety awareness. Before charging, he has to observe the surroundings to ensure that doing so will not detonate another powder keg.
If it were in the past, Lucius would certainly not have such worries.
But now...
"So, Senior Double Agent, Private Iveliya, Brother Lu now has an honorable mission for you."
He looked at Ivylia meaningfully:
"You, go and pass on some 'false information' to Nora."
Iveliya: ???
It’s bad. Now I’m in a difficult situation.
So the question is, am I loyal to Lu Ge or to Nora?
Haha, do you even need to ask?
With Brother Lu around, there is no choice at all.
Besides, Nora and I were just sisters on the surface, forced by circumstances. If there's betrayal, then there's no psychological burden at all.
"Yes!"
Iveliya immediately stood up, straightened her back, and saluted Lucius with a firm gaze.
"Brother Lu, please give the order!"
"loyalty!"
"very good."
Lucius smiled with satisfaction, stood up, leaned close to her ear, and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Ivylia's eyes suddenly lit up:
"I see! Brother Lu, you are so smart!"
...........................
At noon, in an upscale cafe next to Rongguang Square, Ivilia and Nora sat face to face.
Sunlight pours in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm golden glow on the entire space, and the air is filled with the rich aroma of coffee and desserts.
She gracefully picked up the teacup and took a sip, her bright red eyes flashing with a soft and deep light.
"So, Iveliya."
Nora put down her teacup and asked gently:
"How has Brother Lucius been doing these past two days? Any special developments?"
Even though she hadn't seen Lucius for only a day and a half, Nora couldn't contain her curiosity.
Love is such a wonderful thing that makes people toss and turn. People want to see every minute of their lover. Even if they are out of sight for just a short time, they will immediately feel restless.
"There's no special movement."
"but......"
Iveliya hesitated slightly, bit her pink lower lip, and a lingering worry appeared in her originally bright eyes.
Her fingers twisted together unconsciously, as if she was hesitating whether to continue.
"Something unexpected happened."
She leaned forward slightly and lowered her voice:
"Brother Lu hasn't been in good condition these past two days. He often wakes up in his sleep and talks incoherently in his sleep."
Noila Mo's expression froze in an instant, her originally gentle brows suddenly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with undisguised anxiety:
"What? Is there something wrong with Brother Lucius's health? What kind of dream talk is that?"
A series of questions came out of her mouth rapidly, and her speech was so fast that it was almost connected.
"I can't hear clearly either..."
Iveliya shook her head slightly, her fingertips tapping unconsciously on the table:
"It was just a few broken sentences, as if it was calling out to someone. Sometimes it would suddenly sit up, looking frightened."
Come to think of it, I've been sleeping with Brother Lu for so long, but I've never heard him talking in his sleep.
But this is normal. After all, I am scolded every night and I don’t have the time to care about these things.
But the next moment, Nora's eyes suddenly became sharp when she looked at Ivylia:
"Wait, you just said 'in your sleep'..."
Her porcelain-white face was covered with a layer of frost, and her voice was so cold that it was frightening:
"So, you sleep in the same bed with Brother Lucius every night?"
In an instant, the hairs on the back of Iveliya's neck stood up, and a chill ran up her spine.
This is Splenda's number one female killer. Do you dare to look into her eyes for ten seconds?
"Uh...that's not the point!"
Iveliya hurriedly changed the subject, her eyes wandering towards the green plants by the window, beads of sweat beginning to appear on her forehead:
"The key is that during the day, Brother Lu would occasionally be in a daze. Sometimes when we talked to him, he couldn't hear us, as if he was lost in some kind of memory."
"This morning, when Brother Lu got up, he said he had a headache..."
"Headache?"
Nora's face turned pale all of a sudden, her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt, and she asked anxiously:
"Is it serious? Has he seen a doctor? What advice did the doctor give?"
It turned out that Iveliya's method of changing the subject was very effective.
As soon as Nora heard that Lucius had a headache, she immediately turned her attention back to Lucius's health, her face full of worry and heartache.
The fierce aura faded like the tide, and what remained was just an ordinary girl who was concerned about her lover.
Iveliya secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to weave false information according to Lucius's instructions:
"It's not serious. He just said his head felt a little heavy. Maybe he's been too tired lately."
"No, Iveliya!"
Nora suddenly stood up from her seat, slammed her hands on the table, and her eyes were burning with anger:
"Since Brother Lucius is not feeling well, why are you still here?"
"How could a maid like you be so derelict in your duty?"
She frowned, not trying to hide the dissatisfaction in her heart:
"Since you know that Brother Lucius is not in good condition, you should always take care of him!"
"Take me to see Brother Lucius now, immediately!"
At this moment, a heartbreaking scene appeared in Nora's mind -
A frail Lucius huddled alone in the spacious, empty room of the mansion. His pale face bore a sickly look, his parched lips moved, but no one offered him water. His trembling fingers reached in vain for the silver bell by the bedside...
Nora: Damn Iveliya, how can you be so selfish! ?
Iveliya: ???
Damn, what you said makes sense!
If Brother Lu is really sick, I will definitely not come to see you. I must stay by your bedside all the time.
If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed there was such a bug in Lu Ge's plan.
Fortunately, Nora had a bad impression of herself, otherwise she would have really noticed the problem.
At this point, for the sake of Lucius' plan, Iveliya could only swallow her anger and temporarily accept the identity of a disqualified maid.
When Nora followed Iveliya into Clovis's mansion, Lucius was leaning weakly on the sofa in the living room.
The afternoon sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the gold-embossed poetry book in his hands, illuminating a handsome face that looked slightly pale.
He frowned slightly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the page, his whole body exuding a morbid beauty.
——Of course, this is fake.
Lucius had already made preparations according to the plan, using ice magic to cool down his body and then controlling the blood circulation in his face to create a feeling of weakness and paleness.
"Brother Lucius!"
Nora practically ran across the living room, her skirt fluttering under her hurried steps.
Her fair little face was full of worry, and her eyes were filled with deep anxiety.
She knelt gently beside the sofa, and placed her soft little hand on Lucius's forehead, carefully checking his temperature.
"I heard from Iveliya that you were not feeling well and had a severe headache?"
Her voice was as gentle as a feather brushing past, and her eyes were filled with heartache:
"why did not you tell me?"
Lucius raised a slightly forced yet elegant smile, a hint of fragility in his eyes that pretended to be strong:
"It's just a little discomfort. I don't want you to worry about such a small thing."
His voice was deliberately soft, with just the right amount of weakness and fatigue:
"Maybe I've just been too tired lately."
Wrong, actually it’s not tiring at all.
Although the task assigned by Emperor Lao Deng was heavy, it was not that urgent, so Lu Ge was very free.
He even had time to sneak into the palace in the middle of the night to seduce Emperor Lao Deng's daughter.
Nora frowned and looked carefully at Lucius's expression:
"Iveliya said that you haven't been sleeping well recently and often have nightmares?"
Lucius sighed and put on a troubled expression:
"It's not a nightmare...it's more like some fragmented images that keep flashing through my mind and confuse me."
Iveliya, who knew the truth, stood aside and watched Lucius's performance, and couldn't help but curl her lips.
Oh my god, Brother Lu is such a great actor that even I almost believed it.
"Picture..."
"What kind of picture?"
Nora asked cautiously, her tone tense.
Lucius looked out the window in a confused manner, his voice low and confused:
"Something I've never experienced before... We were playing together in the garden when we were little, but..."
"But there was a third person in those scenes, and it was like there was a layer of fog between us. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see her face clearly..."
He smiled wryly and shook his head, his fingertips tapping lightly on the cover of the poetry collection, the rhythm revealing his inner uneasiness:
"I'm sure I never had any of these memories, and that bothers me."
When Nora heard these words, she tried her best to remain calm on the surface, but her heart was already in turmoil.
The "strange pictures" described by Lucius are exactly the real memories that have been deleted and modified!
Could it be that the cognition and memories that were tampered with by Sister Plotina are gradually recovering?
The quicksands of time cannot forever bury the golden light of truth?
This is how to do?
If brother Lucius fully recovers his memory, will he throw himself directly into the arms of sister Plotina?
Do not!
No!
